Rabbit
and Bear
Orientation : Once upon a time, there lived as neighbours, a bear
and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy
ad could not use the arrow to good advantage.
Complication : One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked
the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with bear to the other side of
the hill. The rabbit feared to arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse
it. He consented and went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the
hungry family. Indeed he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat
left after the bear and his family had loaded themselves and packed all they
could carry home.
The bear was very
gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. The rabbit could
not even taste the blood from the butchering as the bear would throw earth on
the blood and dry it up. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his
hard day's work.
Resolution :The bear was the father of five children. The youngest
child was very kind to the rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear
always gave him an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat
it. He would take it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat.
He kicked toward the rabbit's house and when he got close to the door he would
give the meat with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit's
house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa
bear.
